NOTD: O Tannenbaum

Hello again, this time of year is always very busy, so it's a miracle to me that I am managing to get a second post out to you all in December! :) I am loving the Christmas atmosphere, but not so much loving this cold weather and it's damaging affect on my cuticles :'( But on to the manicure! I wanted to do at least one "classic" Christmas mani using red and green and found the perfect two colors to use! But I decided to spice it up a little... enjoy!

So I started with Sally Hansen Divine Wine for all of the red nails, and Essie Going Incognito for my ring fingers. Next, I sponged OPI Bring on the Bling on top of the red. I don't practice my freehand painting very often, so I decided to play around with it on my green nails. This color reminded me of a Christmas tree, so I painted on a branch (using Sally Hansen Forbidden Fudge) and some pine needles (using love & beauty Green). 

Overall a pretty simple and festive manicure! :) I will try to post again before Christmas, but if I don't get the chance to, I want to wish all of my fabulous readers a very Happy Holidays and a happy New Year as well. I will definitely be posting again starting January 1st, as it is my New Year's Resolution for 2012 to complete the 31 Day Nail Challenge that has been floating around since October!! I realize that it will only take 31 days, and not really a whole year, but I am usually not very good at sticking to resolutions, so I thought this one would be fun and a lot more attainable for me. Anyway, thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed today's manicure :)
